The FF strategy of split personality is beginning to kick into overdrive. The ability to damn those responsible as if you were a victim while you were responsible in a collective sense being a member of the parliamentary part and/or cabinet is extraordinary. (O'Dea [excessive punishment for his misdemeanour], Ahern [Lehmans sweet Jesus!], Cowen [Lehmans sweet Jesus!], Lenihan [Who can he possible be talking about])

He and Cowen were hopelessly out of their depth (and quite possibly out of their heads?) when they were outflanked and hoodwinked by banks, developers and bondholders who have dumped the entire bill on the taxpayer.

Now he wants to lump the blame for his own stupidity and naivete on a few convenient patsies like Fitzapatrick and Neary.

Just like O'Dea he obviously decided the Constitution's guff about the cabinet responsibility was something that only applied to the "good news" and not to the "hard stuff".

This is just great though - hopefully it'll be picked up somewhere that will register in the peanut-sized brains of the average FFer who will have to ask the awkward question..."but Sir Landahand - wasn't it really all Lehmann's fault?"

I just finished off a post when it came back to me....this from the FF*cker who missed the 7bn "deposit" in Anglo, this is the FF*cker who amended the law to allow Seanie pay off his kids loans, this is the FF*cker who claimed to know all about the scale of the banking problem and claimed he wasn't rushing into anything....what a joke.

None of his choices have been GOOD or well informed. Since he took over we've seen:

Bank guarantee

NAMA

Over payments for AIB stake

Anglo bailout

Before Brian there was a global crisis that's now nearly over - since Brian there's been the biggest single transfer of wealth from taxpayer to private individuals ever - making Cromwell look like a socialist - and he's now playing the blame game...can any decent Irish journalist really stand for this?
